On The Auction Block

Our beloved church holds an annual charity auction that is a ton of fun. This year, for the second time, I was asked to head up decorating for the event. It's a lot of work, but it's a great artistic outlet, and I had a fantastic team to work with when it came time to put it all together. The theme of this year's auction was "It's a Small World", so I painted several old globes, which were used as centerpieces and then auctioned off, put up tons of maps and postcards, and borrowed a gorgeous collection of international flags to decorate our Fellowship Hall. Add candles and twinkle lights for atmosphere, and boom, baby - you've got decor. :)

The auction was a huge success. The joint was packed, the band was fantastic, the food was delicious, and we raised lots of money for several benevolences and for our church. I so enjoy being part of events like this, because everyone comes together to make it happen. The spirit in the place was just joy. It was really great.
